Mart Model Reporting Status

When a Mart model is modified and saved, although a confirmation message appears, the erwin internal tables are still updated in the background. Further, when multiple users modify and save models simultaneously, models (internal tables) are queued for updating. If you generate a report on the model at this moment, the latest updates are not included. To provide you the correct reporting status of a model, the following enhancements are implemented:

• The Mart Open dialog is enhanced with a new column named Report Status. Report Status displays whether a model is ready for generating reports.
• The status bar of erwin Report Designer shows the number of models that are ready for generating reports. The status Mart Report sync progress (X/Y) indicates that of the Y models that are available in the Mart, X models are ready for reporting.

The Report Status column includes the following statuses:

Updated

Specifies that the model is ready for report generation. When a report is generated on a model with this status, it includes the latest updates.

Updating

Specifies that the model is still being updated. When a report is generated on a model with this status, it does not include the latest updates. Further, when a model is saved for the first time, the report may not include any information.

Pending

Specifies that the model is queued for update. When a report is generated on a model with this status, it does not include the latest updates. Further, when a model is saved for the first time, the report may not include any information.
